On host workstation: Setting up a USB connection

Check that your device is connected to your workstation with a USB cable.

If a dialog prompts you to select the connection mode, select Nokia Ovi Suite mode.

Setting up a USB connection on Windows 7

When you connect your device to your Windows 7 workstation, Windows installs a driver for the Linux USB Ethernet connection automatically. If the installation does not start, unplug the USB cable and try another USB port on your host workstation.

Note: Driver installation takes some time.

When the driver installation is complete:

Go to Start > Control panel > View by and select Small icons.

Go to Network and sharing center > Change adapter settings.

The Linux USB Ethernet connection you just installed is displayed as a new Local Area Connection Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget.

Note: If you cannot see Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget, try to unplug and replug the USB cable.

Local area connection

Right-click Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget and select Properties.

In the opened item list, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties.

Local area connection properties

The IP address is automatically configured. If, for some reason, this is not the case, set IP address as 192.168.2.14 and Subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and click OK.

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties

The network connection between your device and workstation is now configured.

Setting up a USB connection on Windows XP

Right-click Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget and select Properties.

In the opened item list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Properties.

Local area connection properties

The IP address is automatically configured. If, for some reason, this is not the case, in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, click Use the following IP address and enter the following values in the fields:

IP address: 192.168.2.14

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties

Setting up a USB connection on Linux

The USB interface is automatically configured. If, for some reason, that is not the case, create a new network interface for the USB connection with the following command:

sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.14 up

Make sure that the IP addresses of your device and host workstation are not the same and are on the same subnet. The device uses the IP address 192.168.2.15 with the subnet 255.255.255.0 for its USB connection by default, so you can create the network interface with a different address on the same subnet, too.
